double denim

Sure, it was announced today that selfie and twerk have both been added to the Oxford dictionary, but a lot of unexpected fashion terms have made the list as well! Take for example double denim (n: a style of dress in which a denim jacket or shirt is worn with a pair of jeans or a denim skirt, often regarded as a breach of fashion etiquette) or the hybrid word flatform (n: a flat shoe with a high, thick sole). And my personal favorite, jorts (n: denim shorts). Yes, guys, these all made the cut. Back in 2011, Tracey called that flatforms would probably be included on the list of added terms, so let's take bets on what fashion words should make the list next year? Werk (as in what models do on the catwalk)? How about bootdal (the boot and sandal hybrid shoes that were spotted all over the runways last season) or murse (man purse)? Champers (short for champagne, obvi)? Hit the comments and let us know what you'd like to add to the dictionary! Photo: Mark Leibowitz read more
